fore last at the residence, in Sidney, Of

third year of her age. She was born
and married in England, which country
she and her husband and their family
Of small children left in 1S4S, Mr..
Atkins having accepted the superin-
tendency of the Midlothian Coal Mining
Company, in Chesterfield county. At
that date and for many years afterwards
this industry was enjoying great pros
perity.
Mr.. Atkins was selected for his re-
sponsible position because of his high
character and notable talents in the
practical departments of mining, and he
was connected with various enterprises
in Chesterfield almost up to the time OF
his death, some five or six years ago.
he and his wife were born on the
same day of the same year but it fell
10 the lot of the wife to survive the
husband. Having lived a blameless
life for more than four-score years,
having been loving and tender wife,
a good and patient mother, she fell
victim to the wasting of age. and passed
quietly away in the full enjoyment of
the Christians hope. Her surviving
children are BENJAMIN J. Atkins, of
Asa Snyder & Co. John w, who lives
in Henrico Thomas S., Judge of the
Hastings Court, and Henry c., at whose
residence she died. She also leaves

c. f. Sherwood, representative of an
optical-instrument house in New York,
whose arrest the day before for offering
to sell goods by sample without a IL
cense was announced in yesterdays
Dispatch, was before the Police Court
Yesterday morning. When arrested by
Officer Lamkin Sherwood exhibited a
certificate showing that while III Nor
folk he had offered coupons in payment
of his license-tax, which were refused.
The officers, acting under the recent
decision of the Supreme Court of APP
peals of Virginia in the Jones case,
which holds that the mere tender Of
coupons will not Justify a man in pur
suing his business without license, ar
rested Sherwood notwithstanding his
certificate from Norfolk.
Mr. William II. Sands appeared as
counsel for the accused, and waived an
examination. Sherwood was bailed for
his appearance at the February term OF
the Hustings Court in the sum of 500,
Nj. W. II. Lucke becoming his surety.

Death of II. Il. Lewis. ESQ.

We record with deep regret the
death of B. b. Lewis. Esq, which oc-
cured at his home, in Statesville, SatIr
day, January ODD. Mr.. Lewis was a
young man of bright promise. He was
a lawyer, and appeared always, in the
courthouse and in conventions of the
people, to advantage. Here in the
home of his youth he was universally
popular, and now that he has been cut
off in the first flush of manhood, the
general expression is that he was cleyer
indeed, most companionable, and ever
ready to do a friend service. His
death is sad one He had attained
prominent place at the bar of States
vile, though he had but recently gone
there, and it is but fair TO presume that
had he lived he would have become dis
tinguished in his profession andin poll
tics, should he have chosen to enter the
latter. No onefin Raleigh this morn
ing has any but kindly recollections of
the handsome young man who now lies
in the cold embrace of death. May the
hand of affection be lightened to those
who loved him best by the blessed
promises of the Bible. -R0lcigh News
and Observer.
Mr. Lewis was brother of Mrs
Frank L. Patrick, of this city.

KIDD REFUSED A NEW TRIAL.
To he Sentenced Next Thursday
Other Manchester Items.

Other Mnnchestef btcfuss
When the Hastings Court met at A.
NJ. Yesterday Judge Ingram announced
that one hour later he would render his
decision in the case of Lewis Kidd,
who was found guilty OF shooting
Thomas Calligan and whose term was
fixed by the jury that tried him at one
wear inthe penitentiary. This case has
attracted considerable attention, and it
being known that the motions for
new trial and arrest of judgment would
be ruled on yesterday quite a number
of the prisoners friends and others
we're present and anxious to learn his
fate.
At few minutes past ii o'clock, al
ter counsel for the prisoner and the
Commonwealth had taken their seats,
the Judge walked out of his Office and
took the bench. The Judge Oyerruled
both motions, and quoted from the
highest legal authorities to sustain hmm
in his position on each of the eight
points raised. If there had been mae
curacies or slight errofs in the record,
they had in no way hindered the prIr
soner's having fair and impair
tial trial; therefore he was not justified
in interfering with the verdict of the
jury, which he considered q Just and
righteous one, and one of the hghtest
which could have been found. No one
regretted the unfortunate affair more
than he. He had known prisoner from
his early boyhood, and prisoners father
was one of his warm personal friends.
Counsel for defence excepted to the
ruling of the Court, and asked to be
given until Thursday next to prepare
the bills of experimentation or
twenty in number-on which they pro
pose to take the case to the Supreme
Court of Appeals. This time, with the
consent of the Commonwealth attor-
ney, was granted them, and on the day
named Kidd will be sentenced.
The prisoners father was sitting by
him when the Judge rendered his deci-
sion, and both of them were deeply al
fected.
